Birkenstock Women's Boston Suede Clogs

I have pain in my metatarsal (forefoot) area; the older I get, the more padding I'm losing. A podiatrist recommended I always wear shoes with support, even at home. I used to wear slippers with some padding but that just doesn't cut it anymore & I think it led to damaging my feet. Birkenstocks were suggested & since I've owned a pair of the sandals for about 10 years (!), I decided to give them a try as my at-home shoes. I've been wearing them for about 6 months now, every day as soon as I get home. They have made a huge difference in how my feet feel. The metatarsal pain has not gone away completely but it is significantly diminished. I like this slip on/slip off version because it's more like a slipper. They are also pretty much non-marking although you can leave a light mark on a floor if you turn really fast. The mark is easily wiped off with just a damp cloth; no scrubbing. These shoes wear really well. I tend to be a "stomper" & a fast-walker but these shoes can handle it. I normally wear size 7.5 (US size). My feet are average width. The 38 M (EU) fits me perfectly. My toes can wiggle & I can wear thick socks if I choose. There is some break-in time with these shoes. The heat of your foot & your weight will form the cork to your feet. If you've ever tried on someone else's Birkenstocks, you'll know what I mean. Some people have trouble with this & should wear them for a few hours at a time until broken in. I did not experience any pain with my break-in period. You can have these shoes resoled, the liners replaced, etc. at a good shoe repair shop. People love their Birki's & hate to throw them away. I bought 4 more pair of Birkenstocks since I bought these….I have 2 pair I only wear inside my house & 2 pair for running errands/casual wear. They are worth every penny they cost! Your feet are not replaceable so take care of them before they cause you pain.

I ordered a narrow as I have a rather narrow foot; however, while the length of the shoe is perfect, the width is too wide. If I tighten the strap across my instep to the tightest hole, it's too tight against my instep. However, I have a little higher instep than normal. The footbed comfort is awesome. My feet never get tired in these shoes. I'm planning to try either the felt or a suede in the same style in the hopes that the material/leather will be soft enough to allow for my higher instep so that I can have the buckle on the tightest hole. The only reason I gave these shoes 4 stars rather than 5 was the width issue. If you have a medium width foot, I would think the narrow would fit fine. I need to update my review since I've now worn these clogs for a week or two. The leather which originally was quite stiff, is now more broken in. So I can now tighten the buckle to the tightest hole and these shoes now fit well and I'm not walking out of them. Yay! If my feet are tired from wearing other shoes, I find instant foot relief when I slip into my Birks. I thought my Crocs were comfortable, but these Birks far surpass the Crocs in comfort and provide much more support for my feet and arches. I love them and have already ordered another pair in gray wool felt.

Bought gor my daughter. She loves them.

5 YEAR UPDATE: I'm still wearing these shoes daily to work and running errand. I'm on my third set of footbeds thanks to my local Birkenstock repair center (new cork footbed and soles run about $70-80). I'm pretty hard on shoes, and these take quite the beating and keep going. I totally love them! The photo was taken just after my third footbed (the tops are squished in the photo, but they still hold the shape). Original Review: These shoes are wonderful because they meet all the requirements for my workplace dress code and they are comfortable. An added bonus for me is our local shoe store is an authorized Birkenstock repair shop. That means this clogs will last for forever! If you're thinking of purchasing these, keep these things in mind: - Birkenstocks require a longer break in period than other shoes. They soften over time and become custom fit to your foot. - These are NOT for wandering through puddles. The cork at the back is sealed, but the sealant will need refreshing occasionally. I purchased a small bottle of cork glue from my local dealer and make sure to treat the cork occasionally. - The sole does have latex in it, however, the footbed (the part your feet will come in contact with) is leather. This was an initial concern for me as I'm allergic to latex. I haven't had a single reaction to these shoes, so no worries. :) These shoes are pretty much like a dream come true! Birkenstock for me marries function and comfort. Perhaps they aren't the most fashionable, but an extra long slack means that my boss is none the wiser and I don't get lectured about how I live in hippie sandals.

I bought these leather clogs for my husband, and they’ve quickly become a favorite for casual wear around the house and running errands. The leather is high-quality and softens nicely over time, molding to the foot for that signature Birkenstock comfort. The cork footbed provides excellent support, making them ideal for long periods of standing or walking. The style is timeless and versatile, pairing well with casual outfits without looking sloppy. The only minor drawback is sizing as it can feel a bit snug at first, especially across the toe box, so a break-in period is necessary. Once worn in, though, they’re very comfortable and supportive. Overall, these are well-made, reliable clogs that deliver the comfort and durability Birkenstock is known for. These are a great buy for comfort, craftsmanship, and classic style, with only minor fit considerations to keep in mind.

I am a chef in NYC, very fast pace 3 star restaurant and I ended up catching one of the worst things a chef can catch, which is plantar fasciitis, anyone who has had this knows that it is painful, for me I had/have it on both feet. I went to therapy, I received shots and was told to stay off my feet for months. Well telling a chef to stay off his feet is like telling a cop he can't have his badge or gun... when having plantar fasciitis you have to change a lot, one is the shoes you wear, for me I couldn't wear dress shoes or boots, I changed my chef shoes and sneakers, after so much research I tried these and they were the best fit for me, now, I am not sure if anyone else can wear these or would be allowed to wear these if they are prepers or line cooks but since I'm the head chef they don't bother me, but because these don't have a back they may be an issue for management. However, these are a god sent as they help me so much, I also changed to Nike Air as I read that also helps with plantar fasciitis. These were the best shoes I've ever used. Again, before buying these to use make sure you let the chef know or management know if you can first, if they don't care, go for it, you will not regret it.... Also, they are slip resistant but not as good as a really good chef shoe, but they are good enough for a fast pace restaurant

Several issues with this order that led me to return the shoes immediately after receiving them. Let me start with the pros about this order before I get into the cons… PROS: 1. Color is on point, true to the listing photo. 2. They arrived a day earlier than anticipated. CONS: 1. I ordered these shoes under the false pretense of them being a softbed style, which unfortunately it is not. The shoe is extremely uncomfortable and rigid, not in asupportive way, and not in the same fashion as my other current Birkenstocks and those in the past. 2. I ordered these as a “New” item, which they also were not. The shoes arrived with scratches (not scuffs) as well as stains (not aged leather markings) which appear to be liquid, as well as possibly black mold stains. 3. The shoes arrived in an damaged box, however they were so squished into the box that the tops of them were pushed in so tightly that I was barely able to get my foot into them. 4. I am typically a size 8-8.5 womens, regular/medium width, however I ordered these in a size 9W/7M (regular width) as I had been searching for them and they were only $108, compared to the Birkenstock website which was $155. They were too big, so I would have returned them anyways simply based on this, however the 2 issues outlined above warranted a return anyhow. This is not the fault of the seller, but rather an ordering error on my part. Hope this helps!

I ordered the Boston clog in the Tobacco color for my husband. He has never worn clogs in his life or worn any Birkenstock products for that matter. I am a lifelong lover of both clogs and Birkenstock's products. My husband is a soccer player and often has problems with his feet due to the fact that most soccer players like to wear their soccer boots on the small side because they think it gives them a better feel for the ball...what it really gives them is ingrown toenails. He has been in pain for weeks. I ordered these without telling him because I knew he would take one look at them and say he was not wearing a clog. My theory was that once he put them on he would love them so much it wouldn't matter that it was a Birkenstock clog...that is exactly what happened. He put them on last night when he came home from work and wore them until he went to bed. Then he actually wore them to work today. He loves them. I ordered a size 45 M. He wears a size 11.5 in most shoes. His feet are on the wider side of average and he has a very high instep. The 45 M was perfect for him. I like the Tobacco color. It is a bit lighter than I thought it would be, but it looked nice with the olive green chinos he wore today.

Tengo años usando esta marca y son los mejores zapatos que he tenido en la vida

Der Schuh passt sehr gut, sehr gute Qualität.

Bellissime e super comode
